the title doesn’t match the content that’s all, @LucioV said churches and when I opened his post I found mosques and temples so the title is little bit off the topic

Brilliant photography @khammami .
I am always so fascinated about the churches, I don’t know why. Every time I enter a church it gives me a very strangely calm feeling, all my stresses and anxieties just wash away. Same thing happens when I enter a mosque as well. I feel like I am in the middle of the most serene place on earth. I never had a chance entering into a temple, let it be a Hindu or a Buddhist one. They don’t allow other religion practitioners enter their temples. But I’m sure I would have the same feeling if I had the chance to go inside. The only temple I was allowed to go inside was the Lotus Temple in New Delhi, which was not actually any religious temple.

Basilica of Our Lady of Graces, also known as Churches among the Churches, is dedicated to Virgin Mary. The Church was built by Begum Samru, a Nautch girl of 14 who married a European mercenary soldier Walter Reinhardt Sombre. Samru converted to Roman Catholicism in 1781 and adopted the name Joanna Nobilis. She is regarded as the only Catholic ruler in India, and ruled the Principality of Sardhana in 18th and 19th century.The Church is the largest in North India.

This is the Duomo of Milan. One of the great examples of Gothic outside Germany.
Took around 600 years to finish the building.
Milan Cathedral (Italian: Duomo di Milano [ˈdwɔːmo di miˈlaːno]; Lombard: Domm de Milan [ˈdɔm de miˈlã]) is the cathedral church of Milan, Italy. Dedicated to St Mary of the Nativity (Santa Maria Nascente), it is the seat of the Archbishop of Milan, currently Cardinal Angelo Scola. The Gothic cathedral took nearly six centuries to complete. It is the largest church in Italy (the larger St. Peter’s Basilica is in the State of Vatican City) and the fifth largest in the world. (Wikipedia)

@deepakjhic nice contribution, thanks !
Nice photos @deepakjhic . where in India is this church situated? I have to add this to my list next time I visit India.
This is one of a wonderful place in my Country…
Borobudur Temple or Barabudur Temple (Indonesian: Candi Borobudur) is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia, as well as the world’s largest Buddhist temple, and also one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world. The temple consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circulars, topped by a central dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa. Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Sailendra Dynasty, the temple was designed in Javanese Buddhist architecture, which blends the Indonesian indigenous cult of ancestor worship and the Buddhist concept of attaining Nirvana. The temple also demonstrates the influences of Gupta art that reflect India’s influence on the region, yet there are enough indigenous scenes and elements incorporated to make Borobudur uniquely Indonesian. The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path around the monument and ascends to the top through three levels symbolic of Buddhist cosmology: Kāmadhātu (the world of desire), Rupadhatu (the world of forms) and Arupadhatu (the world of formlessness). The monument guides pilgrims through an extensive system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the walls and the balustrades. Borobudur has the largest and most complete ensemble of Buddhist reliefs in the world. (Wikipedia).
